Some analysts have suggested that among national institutions, only the armed forces retain the public trust and respect. Since the end of single-party rule in 1950, they have intervened directly three times in the country's politics. In each instance, civilian control was restored after a transition period during which purported problems were addressed, justice meted out, new constitutions adopted, and economic growth accomplished.

Mr. Pipees accurately noted the sophistication of the current political party in maintaining absolute painstaking control of Turkey, the secular military has long ago been delt a death blow before they ever got out of bed.
I'm sorry but nothing can stop Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Syria and Russia from their upcoming date with Hammom Gong.
Actually, because of Attaturk the modern Turkish state grew out of the ashes of the moribund Ottoman Empire. Many historians quibble over the import of Biblical Archeology, which continued to locate ancient cities, inscriptions and literary evidence that the Bible has shown to indeed be 100% accurate. The Word, Ms. Pelosi has such difficulty describing is doubtless God's account of history written beforehand.
It's funny, because one of my acquaitances used to comment everytime we crossed paths over the years, he would shout, 'but what about the Turks' whenever he could to needle my well known Christian worldview. Last year, he called me up out of the blue and started asking me about the End Times line up, I carefully explained as best I could that one regional and two world wars are on the way. One by the word of Exekiel that destroys Damascus/Lebanon/Gaza then another universal confligration involving the Arabs and the USSR. Then apparently, before the radioactive dust even settles, enter great Red Dragon. This is most likely the 200 million man Chinese horde, but it could also contain Asian vassals and the USA.
I'm sorry to pee in your cornflakes, but the Bible says that all nations will come against Israel and be broken upon it's mountains. Somehow, someway the US will be there in some capacity.
These days, I'm telling my students to prepare for whatever comes our way. Spiritually, financially and physically. Good luck, Godspeed to all of you.
